Those look good. I’ll post my questions there before cluttering up this one.

I don’t want to clutter up a general purpose community with tech support questions. I think of the general topic ones to be more about News or history topics.

True. The concept is a bit too complex for his brain to handle.

“So the math works out that you owe us 2 million.”

How much “Hollywood Accounting” is going to be used to keep the funds out of the hands of the family?

They should be teaching kids how to use Wikipedia properly rather then banning it out right. Use it like a search engine and follow the cited sources for real research. Check the authors of the cited sources for any bias. Check the edit history if something seems suspicious.

Has anyone tried getting linux to run on a mechanical computer?

You get what you fucking deserve.

I don’t know if most of them are plants, but enough of them are. I noticed that during Obama’s terms. Nothing ever got done because there was always some D stopping shit. There were some usual suspects, probably the lowest bidders who didn’t plan on staying in office anyway.

So Twitter?

It’s Pearson.

Stop believing that any of the super powers are good guys.

There are a lot of reasons to not like Thatcher that have nothing to do with her being a woman.

I was reading about the wet sleeved cylinders and didn’t understand why that wasn’t more common, but then again, car companies want you to buy a whole new vehicle rather then fix anything. Trunks now a days are way to posh for my taste anyway.

An old Lister or Listeriod clone would be king for power generation. Originally made in England and now India because the patents expired, these thing are massive stationary engines popular in rural India for running farm equipment and village generators. They’re also popular in rural Canada for running backup power for their low maintenance and reliability. If you’re setup properly, you can even change the oil while the engine is running.

God, I want one of those. I need to start looking again once my current diesel project is done.

I rigged up fuel lines so my small diesel generator can run off the heating oil tank. I have about 100 days of nonstop power. If shit looked really bad though, I’d be rationing that fuel on a 50/50 duty cycle or so to keep the fridge chilling while I use power for other things.

Diesel lasts longer then a year. If you can get a commune going, you can grow diesel fuel from seed oil, but only with older diesel. Not that you’d want to direct too much food resources to transportation, but if you have enough farm land, diesel tractors are much more common then electric and easier to work on.

You can also run modified gas engines to run off of Wood Gas and wood could be scavenged from most places. Probably the best option for any fast scouting operations, although you would need to let the system idle. The start up process takes some time.

collect batteries and add it to the solar/battery bank back at base.

lol, Wall Street doesn’t give a shit about the Uyghur people.
